Can you set your mac up as an ftp server or connect to it as a network drive?

Try adb: in cmd type: adb backup -apk -all -noshared -system or adb pull sdcard /sdcard/

used adb like twice in my life and that was on windows i don't know how to access either a terminal or command prompt type thing on mac lool I'm a noob sorry
yeah i just noticed i never ever went in to the 'other' folder which is where terminal is located lol don't really know how to use it though but ill figure it out
The first thing to do will be to google "android sdk for Mac"

If you tried the adb pull I think it should be adb pull /sdcard /sdcard

homass-mbp:~ thomasclarke$ adb pull /sdcard /sdcard
failed to copy '/sdcard' to '/sdcard': Is a directory
thomass-mbp:~ thomasclarke$
I've given up with this, this is a ridiculous process just to take media from my nexus to my mac I'm just gonna use someone else's windows pc in my house this is stupid
You can use ES File Explorer or find another app and maybe connect a CIFS (Windows File Sharing) share or NFS or even FTP. If you can set up a ftp server on your Mac it should work.
